From David Harvey, "The Right to the City":
<blockquote>''"The right to the city is far more than the individual liberty to access urban resources: it is a right to change ourselves by changing the city.

The freedom to make and remake our cities and ourselves is, I want to argue, one of the most precious yet most neglected of our human rights."''</blockquote> ▼
